ICREC2015: The First
International Conference on Rammed Earth Construction

ICREC2015 will bring together
researchers, engineers and practitioners in order to communicate the latest
developments in the design and analysis of rammed earth structures.

The Organising Committee is
looking forward to welcoming everyone to sunny Perth for four days of stimulating
and productive discussion.

Workshop

A two-day workshop will be held
at Trinity College at The University of
Western Australia (UWA), aimed at communicating advances in the design
and construction of rammed earth structures to engineers and practitioners.

UWA is recognised as a leading
international university and is one of the most picturesque in the country,
with its beautiful sandstone buildings amongst heritage-listed gardens. The
campus is located along the bank of the Swan River adjacent to Matilda Bay, 3km
south of the Perth CBD.

Perth is home to
first-class restaurants, galleries, boutiques and tourist attractions, first
and foremost over 80km of white sandy beaches commanding an uninhibited view of
the cool blue waters of the Indian Ocean.

Conference

Following the workshop, a two-day
conference will be held in Margaret River, aimed
at disseminating and discussing recent advances in rammed earth research. The
Margaret River region is a relaxing and refreshing break from urban life which
hosts the largest concentration of rammed earth buildings and structures in WA,
as well as some of the State’s best wineries and restaurants.

Call for Papers

Authors are invited to submit
abstracts of no more than 300 words by February 10, 2014. Recommendations con-
cerning the format of full papers will then be made availa- ble.
